P-values were computed using the saddle point approximation and were obtained from logistic mixed effects models, adjusting for sex, age, sequencing batch, associated principal components (PCs) and a sparse kinship matrix. P-values shown are unadjusted for multiple testing. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were obtained from Firth’s regression models adjusting for sex, age, sequencing batch and associated PCs among unrelated individuals.
